AN IMPERIAL BARBARIAN.

Early in Bonaparte's career, even be-
fore the period of his successes in Italy,
before Marengo, and precedent to the
treaty of Campo Formio, when he ac-
costed men and women in the salons of
the Directory, it was in a manner to es-
tablish the superiority of the questioner
to the person answering. care you mar

he planted himself as stiffly as the
stiffest of German generals straight
before a lady celebrated for her
beauty, wit, and the incisiveness of
her opinions, and said to her, Madame,
l do not like to have women
meddle with politics." All equality, all
familiarity, freedom, or companionship
fled at his approach. When he had been
appointed to command the army of Italy,
Admiral Decres, who had known him
we'll at Paris, hearing that he was to
pass through Toulon, offered to present
all his comrades. The admiral says: 81
ran full of eagerness and delight to greet
him. The doors of the salon opened. l
was going to spring toward him, when
his attitude, his look, the sound OF his
voice, were sufficient to arrest me. There
was nothing offensive or insulting; but
it was enough. After that I never tried
to overstep the distance that ne had
placed between u.s."
Some days later at Albenga, the gen.
erals of division, among the rest Auge-
reau, kind of heroical, rough old SOL
der, proud of his tall form and of his
bravery, came to headquarters very
badly disposed toward the little upstart
whom they had sent to them from Paris.
From the description given of him, Auge
reau is insulting and insubordinate in ad-
vance: "a favorite of Barras' he SAYS
"a street general" They are admitted,
and Bonaparte makes them wait. He APP
pears finally, girds on his sword, puts on
his hat. explains his dispositions, gives
them his orders, and dismisses them.
Augereau had remained dumb; when
they are outside he first RECEIVERS himself
and finds again his customary oaths. He
agrees with Massena, that "that little b.
Of a general frightened him." He
is not able to understand the as
tendency with which he felt
himself crushed at the first glance.
Another specimen of this ascend
ency on another old soldier of the Revo-
luton, still rougher and more energetic
than Augereau, is given in the expert
ence of Gen. Vandamme. In 1915 Van
damme said to Marshal Soult, one day
as they were ascending together the
steps OF the Tuilleries: ''My dear friend,
that devil of man (referring to the EN-
peror) exercises fascination over me
that am unable to account for. 1t inf
ences me to that degree that |, who fear

BILE like child when he approaches. He
could make me pass through the eye of
needle; to cast myself in the fire for
him." And he himself said on a certain
occasion: "Yes, 1 am a soldier, be-
cause it is the especial gift 1 Received at
my birth; il is my existence, my
habit of life. Wherever / have been 1

years of age commanded at the siege of

of the soldiers in Italy as soon as l ap-
peared before them; / was born for
that" His was an extraordinary and
superior nature, made for command and
conquest.
Bonaparte had the utmost contempt
for abstract sciences, and for the men
who professed them. One day he said to
a person standing near him: "There are
over there twelve or fifteen metaphy-
sicians, who are good for nothing but
to be thrown into some fsh-pond.
They are vermin that l have upon
my clothing" Applied science, however,
in its various forms and ramifcations,
Jound in him a worthy and en-
thusiastic disciple. Books served him
only in suggesting to him questions, and
to these questions he responds solely
through his own experience. He had
read very little, and that cursorily. His
classical instruction was rudimentary.
Polite and learned literature, the philoso-
ply OF the study and of the salon, with
with which his contemporaries were i'm
bued, glided over his intelligence as wa
ter over rock. Mathematical calcula-
tions alone, the positive conceptions of
geography and history penetrated his
mind and were engraven there. In all
things he was severely practical, and
never speculative. He was was first
class mechanician. He said: "There is
nothing pertaining to war that / could
not make myself. If there was no
one to make powder, could manufac-
ture it. If gun carriages were
wanted, / could construct them. Ii it
were necessary to cast cannon, could do
it," Therefore his taste for details, in
regard to which his curiosity and avidity
were Unsuitable. He knew more than the
chief in each of the governmental de-
partments, and in each Office he knew
more than the clerks. Where other adj
ministrators saw distractions, articles of
the code and precedents, he saw the soul
and what it is: that of the Frenchman,
the Italian, the German, the peasant, the
workman, the bourgeois, the noble; that
tom of "the Mountain" of the returned
emigre; that of the soldier, the officer,
the official; everywhere the individual
actual and complete; the man who
labors, manufactures, fights, marries,
suffers, trifes and dies.
Among his diverse faculties, however
great they were, that of constructive i'm
aginattOn was the greatest. From the
very beginning, the intense heat and
seething of his genius may be felt under
the coldness and stiffness of his positive
and technical instructions. "When am
laying out a military plan,' he once said
to Roederer, "there is no one more timid
than am. exaggerate all the dangers
and evils possible in the circumstances.
am in a state of painful agitation. That
does not hinder me from appearing COM
posed and serene in the presence OF those
who are about me. l am like young
girl in her first accouchment. ."-Henry

w. L. CHANDLER has been nominated
by the New Hampshire Republicans for
United States Senator, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of Mr.. Pike.
The nomination was an enthusiastic one.
Mr.. Chandler was one of the most active
and efficient agents in the stealing OF the
Presidency from Mr.. Tilden, and this
brilliant record Of political thievery could
not fail to enthuse Republicanism. Mr..
Chandler, however, will have to be salts
fed with his past exploits. There will
never be another opportunity for his pc
culiar services.

WHILE the Republican press has paid
a great deal of attention to Mr.. Cleve-

much enthusiasm over it. This is natural
enough. Mr.. Cleveland will very likely

THE PONY EXPRESS,
How the Late Ben Halliday Reduced Tim,
tO San Francisco.

How the Late Ben Halliday Reduced Time
to San Francisco.
The death OF Ben Halliday continues to
revive stories Of the trials and specula.
tions and triumphs Of overland trans.
portation before the period of transcon.
tinental railroading, says the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican. Halliday was born
speculator and organizer. Back of him
stood w. H. Russell, Of st. Louis, who
really originated both the Pixies Peak and
Overland Express Company and the ia.
nous pony express, although Halliday was
the active agent and ultimately became
the owner. In 1859 Russell sent Halliday
to Salt Lake to sublet contract to supply
the Government with -four at three and
one-half cents per pound. But the trans.
portation was twenty-five and one-half
cents more. Halliday discovered that
Brigham Young had wheat in great
quantity stored up, and bargained with
him to mill and deliver it for seven cents,
by which Halliday cleared $4,000 by
keeping his eyes open. Mr.. Russell had or
ganized the Pixies Peak and Overland
Express, but Halliday was made president,
advanced Sc, 900 and then foreclosed on the
property, which he after time sold to
Wells, Fargo & Co. for s., 900 900 The pony
express was . branch of the overland com.
pany. All mail had been previous to 1860
carried by the Pacific Mail Company. A
new stage route had been organized to run
south Of the snow line in opposition to the
overland express. The time for the trip
was calculated at twenty days, s,and after .
million had been spent upon it the an.
nouncement appeared in the papers that
on the sth of April, 1860, ponies would start
from San Francisco and from st. Joseph,
the riders along the overland express route
being provided with frequent relays. There
were no less than ten thousand people
gathered at st. Joseph as the pony started
west from the banks of the Missouri, and in
eight days and four hours the letters were
delivered at San Francisco. The pony ex.
press walked off with the Government con.
tracts and, as letters were five dollars be-.
side postage, there was money in it.

A bulletin of the United States Fish
Commission just issued gives the fol-
lowing account, rs described in let
ter to Prof Baird. Of the killing of a
man by sword-fish:
"The schooner Venus is small yes.
sel of about twelve tons. owned and
commanded by Franklin D. Langsford,
Of Lanesville. Mass, with a crew Of
three men, engaged in the general fish.
cries off the coast Of Massachusetts,. On
Monday morning, August 9, Captain
Lapgsford sailed from home in pursuit
of sword-fish. About eleven o clock in
the morning. when eight miles north
east from Halibut Point, in Ipswich
Bay, a fish was seen. The captain. with
one man, taking dory, gave chase.
and soon harpooned the fish,
throwing over buoy with =
line attached to the harpoon, after
which the fish was left and they re.
turned to the vessel for dinner. About
an hour later the captain. with ono
man, again took his dory and went
out to secure the fish. Picking up the
buoy. Captain Langsford took hold Of
the line, pulling his boat toward the
sword-tish, which was quite large and
not badly wounded. The line was
taut as the boat slowly neared the
fish. which the captain intended to
lance and thus kill it. When near the
fish, but too far away to reach it with
the lance, it quickly turned and rushed
at and under the boat, thrusting its
sword up through the bottom of the
boat twenty-three inches. As the fish
turned and rushed toward the boat
the line was suddenly Stacked, oaus-
ing the captain to fall over on his
back; and while he was in tho act Of
rising the sword came piercing
through the boat and into his body.
At this time another swordlish was in
sight near by, and the
captain excited and anxious tc
secure both, raised himself up,
not knowing that he was wounded.
Seeing the sword. he seized it, exclaim.
ing. We've got him, any way! He
lay in the bottom of the dory, holding
fast to the sword until the vessel came
alongside. while the fish, being under
the boat, could not be reached. Soun
the captain said: i think l am hurt.
and quite badly When the vessel ar
rived he went on board, took n few
steps, and fell. never rising again.
Tho boat and fish were soon hoisted
on board. when the sword was
chopped off to free tbs l,uat and tho
fish was killed on the deck Of the ves-
sci. The fish weighed 245 pounds after
its head and tail were cut off and the
yiscera removed; when alive it wei ghed
something over 800 pounds. Captain
Lansford survived the injury about
three days, dying on Thursday, August
II of peritonitis. The sword has been
deposited in the United States National
